Jellyfish numbers on the rise along beaches - CKN 408


 
 
If you're heading to the beach this summer, scientists are recommending to be on the lookout for jellyfish.
Jellyfish blooms are known to occur every 20 years, but Collins says warmer oceans, agriculture runoff, commercial fishing and the creation of artificial reefs may have an impact on increased numbers of the animals in recent years.
The majestic creatures are some of the oldest life forms on the planet, having existed for hundreds of millions of years.
With no eyes and limited ability to move through water, marine biologists say it's omportant recognize the habitat of the animals and know what to do when you encounter them at the beach.
Vinegar is your best bet if you do get stung.
Most people don't have vinegar, so you want to get the tentacles off of your skin so you can rinse the tentacles off if you can, you can try to use tweezers to get the tentacles off.
For the pain and swelling, heat is what you need.
Scientists also say there's no evidence that urine helps alleviate the pain from a jellyfish sting.
